How to Manage Sugar Cravings during the Holidays

One of the best parts of the holiday seasons—besides traveling, enjoying family and friends, and taking time off work– is the food! With so many treats and desserts available, it’s hard not to indulge a little to satisfy your sugar cravings.

There’s nothing wrong with having a decadent dessert every once in a while. However, it’s important to be aware of how many sweets you’re eating.

Consuming too much sugar is bad for your body–no matter how healthy you are.

Drink Water

When your body needs something, it often communicates its needs through cravings.

Unfortunately, your body may cause you to crave sugar when it’s actually trying to tell you that you’re dehydrated.

To combat sugar cravings, be sure to keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

Drinking water throughout your day will prevent your body from having to ask for it in the form of sugar cravings. The less cravings you have, the less likely you will be to binge on sweets.

Meditate

Sugar cravings are often caused by high stress levels.

This happens because stress often causes poor sleep. When you don’t get enough sleep, your hormone levels become messed up. Unbalanced hormones can easily cause you to crave high-calorie, sugary foods.

Daily meditation allows you to naturally relieve stress so you can avoid restless nights, keep your hormones in check, and avoid sugar cravings.

Tip: If you’re not into meditation, you can also do other activities like jogging, yoga, or playing your favorite sport to relieve stress.

Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth Naturally

From time to time, it’s ok to give into that sugar craving and satisfy your sweet tooth. But when you do, I recommend you do it with natural sweeteners.

Using natural sweeteners is healthier, and when using them, you’re less likely to get addicted to sugar and have cravings.

You can find many recipes online for desserts and treats that use natural sweeteners. I recommend doing a search and adding a few to your recipe box.

While you’re searching, keep an eye out for recipes that include my favorite natural sweeteners: honey, agave nectar, or applesauce.
